Default Clown pair eggs

Oh kewl, I just came home and randomly looked under my h. magnifica noticing a clutch of orange eggs with my orange false perc female and black perc male close by... hrmmmmmmmm...

I don't know much about rearing clowns, but I presume you'd have to transfer the rock and parents to another tank to raise them? I don't even have another tank setup... hrmm... I wonder what the fry would end up looking like?

Just the rock I think, parents can stay behind... the main concern is feeding the fry.

So I should start cycling my empty 10 gal just to put this rock in? I just want to make sure they'll have a viable chance at surviving if I try all of this out... if yes, then I'll consult my Wilkerson book for the rest

From what I heard & saw at Jack & Wendel's (Ocean Aquatics), you'll need two or three running cultures of rotifers to keep them fed & alive. It's time-consuming, which is why they're getting out of the clownfish breeding biz. I have several gallons of rotifers, but I don't know if its worth it to you to ship some (probably $$$ for shipping). See if there are any local cultures that you can get a hold of. I feed rotifers to my corals, clams & stuff & they love it By the way, I got my starter culture from OA.
